"His Majesty, having been informed that due regard has not been paid to his order of September 11, 1737, has thought fit to declare that no person whatsoever, who shall go to pay their court to their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess of Wales, shall be admitted into his Majesty's presence, at any of his royal palaces. "(signed) Grafton." Even this measure failed of its effect, for while those who sought the King's favour had not been to Leicester House, the Opposition, knowing they had nothing to lose, were not affected by this command. Indeed, the Opposition, delighted to have so influential a chief, flocked around Frederick; and Bolingbroke,[21] Chesterfield, Pulteney,[22] Dodington, Carteret,[23] Wyndham,[24] Townshend[25] and Cobham,[26] were soon numbered among his regular visitors; while Huish has compiled a long list of peers[27] who frequently attended his _levées_. [21] Henry St. John, first Viscount Bolingbroke (1678-1751). [22] Sir William Pulteney, afterwards Earl of Bath (1684-1764). [23] John Carteret, afterwards Earl Granville (1690-1763). [24] Sir Charles Wyndham, afterwards second Earl of Egremont (1710-1763). [25] Sir William Townshend, second son of Charles, second Viscount Townshend (1702?-1738). [26] Richard Temple, Viscount Cobham (1669?-1749). [27] Dukes of Beaufort, Bedford, Argyle, Bridgwater and Roxburghe; Marquis of Carnarvon; and Earls of Derby, Denbigh, Westmoreland, Winchelsea, Thanet, Sandwich, Carlisle, Aylesbury, Litchfield, Scarborough, Coventry, Oxford, Aylesford, Halifax, Macclesfield, Darnley, Barrymore, Inclagreen and Gronard.
